The Things We Never Say
by Elizabeth Strout
Elizabeth Strout's The Things We Never Say is a short, sorrowful piece of literary fiction about Artie Dam, a gentle high school history teacher who has spent years among people he can't reach. Then a revelation arrives, and it reshapes how he sees his marriage, his students, and himself.
